Ted Cruz versus Iran's mullahs

There's no difference really, especially not after his statement, while running for the Republican nomination for the election as President of the United States, mind you, that for him being a Christian is more important than being an American (whether he actually is American rather than Canadian is another topic).  During the Green Revolution in 2009-2010, one of the most popular street slogans among the people in the movement was "I am an Iranian before I am a Muslim, and more importantly, I am a human before I am an Iranian", and those were the sentiments which spurred the regime to even harsher action.  In spirit, it is all too clear Cruz sides with those wearing the boot rather than those crushed by it.  Of course, the deity he actually follows is Ayn Rand wearing a White American Jesus mask.
